Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO
collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directiveswww.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of any
patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or on
the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patentswww.iso.org/patents).

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 45, Rubber and rubber products,
Subcommittee SC 2, Testing and analysis.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 15671:2000), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— Anan alternative detector to determine sulfur dioxide has been added.;
— Samplingsampling and preparation of test piece have been added.;
— Precisionprecision statement has been updated in Annex A.

FINAL DRAFT INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/FDIS 15671:2022(E)
Rubber and rubber products — Determination of total sulfur
content using an automatic analyser
WARNING 1 — Persons using this document should be familiar with normal laboratory practice. This
document does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the
responsibility of the user to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to determine the
applicability of any other restrictions.
WARNING 2 — Certain procedures specified in this document might involve the use or generation of
substances, or the generation of waste, that could constitute a local environmental hazard. Reference
should be made to appropriate documentation on safe handling and disposal after use.
1 Scope
This document specifies an instrumental (automatic analyser) method for the determination of total
sulfur in rubber and rubber products.

4 Principle
4.1 Specified here is a reliable, rapid, instrumental (automatic analyser) method for determining total
sulfur in rubber and rubber products. The sulfur is determined by a single instrumental procedure
consisting of weighing a test piece, placing it in the instrument and initiating the (subsequently
automatic) analytical process. The analysis may be controlled manually to a limited degree, and a
capability to perform computations automatically may be provided by the instrument used to perform
the analysis.
4.2 The actual process can vary substantially from instrument to instrument because a variety of means
can be used to meet the primary requirements of the method. The method includes the following:
a) conversion of sulfur-containing materials to sulfur dioxide in an oxygen stream;
b) determination of the sulfur dioxide by one of three detection schemes, and hence the total sulfur
content.
4.3 In the hydrogen peroxide detection configuration, the sulfur dioxide is absorbed in hydrogen
peroxide, converting sulfur dioxide to sulfuric acid which is subsequently titrated with standard alkali,
enabling the sulfur to be calculated.
4.4 In the iodine solution detection configuration, the sulfur dioxide is absorbed in standard iodine
solution, reducing iodine to iodide which is subsequently measured by a polarized dual platinum
electrode system, enabling the sulfur to be calculated.
4.5 In the sulfur dioxide detection configuration, the sulfur dioxide is passed through an infrared
absorption detector or thermal conductivity detector or any equivalent detector and determined using a
sulfur dioxide standard, enabling the sulfur to be calculated.
5 Requirements for apparatus
5.1 Because a variety of instrumental (automatic analyser) component configurations can be used
satisfactorily for this method, no specifications are presented with regard to overall system design.
Functionally, however, the following requirements are specified for all instruments.
5.2 The conditions for combustion of the sample shall be such that (for the full range of applicable
samples) sulfur-containing components shall be converted completely to sulfur dioxide. General
instrumental conditions that affect complete combustion include:
a) availability of the oxidant,;
